Extract Systems

Loading

Brewing with extract systems is great fun. It's easy to get started. Most of the actual brewing will take place on your kitchen stove to begin with (with your spouse's permission of course). As you progress and gather more and more equipment, and begin making more complex beers, you may decide to move outdoors. Eventually all homebrewers get kicked out of the kitchen. Relax, it just means that you are growing as a homebrewer. This is the first step, and a peek at what the all grain brewers already know, "outside is good". It's easier to clean up your messes, no one bothers you, you can have all your buddies over to talk and drink homebrew, and you won't monopolize the kitchen for a good part of the day.
